Introduction

The database security features available from relational database management system (RDBMS) vendors are only a small part of the overall database security picture. While some critical security capabilities are bundled with relational database platforms, many critical services for securing enterprise data are not; hence the need for database security tools from third parties.

These database security products provide a level of database security far beyond what RDBMS vendors offer directly to customers in their products, particularly in the areas of database vulnerability assessment, encryption, database compliance and test data management, tokenization and data masking. As a result, there are a number of reasons for organizations to leverage these database security products. And, as there are databases available to support most every application and business function, there is an equally varied set of requirements to boost database security through these third-party tools.

In this buyer's guide, readers will learn exactly what database security tools are, as well as the use cases and ways database security tools are used to boost enterprise security. It also lays out what enterprises need to know before making an investment into database security products, and presents direct comparisons of database security products, offering overviews of some of the top tools on the market today.
